Warrensburg Community Members -
As many of you have heard on the district podcast or through the meetings of the Board of Education over the past few months, or you could have read about it in the Warrensburg Star Journal, our school district is going to need to go through a period of change. We are anticipating approximately a 4%-5% reduction in expenditures for the 2027-28 school year. This situation is not unique to Warrensburg. Many school districts across the state have had to make cuts to reduce spending or have passed new taxes in their communities to fund what they currently have for the future. The Warrensburg Board of Education will be working with our administration team to identify ways the district can save money into the future. These changes are being brought on through a combination of increasing costs for resources and supplies, increasing compensation for employees, and projections of less funding from the state level than what was received by the district over the last couple of years. An important step in the process is that we would appreciate input from our stakeholders as we prepare to move forward.
As we work through this process, it is important that the Board of Education and district leadership understand what our community values most and how we believe resources should be prioritized.
This survey is intended to gather feedback from parents, students, employees, and community members about the broader priorities that should guide these decisions. Rather than focusing on individual programs or positions, we are asking you to consider the overall educational experience we provide and the trade-offs that may be necessary to sustain it. The responses to this survey will help guide the first conversations for the Board of Education at their November 10th work session at 6:00pm in the high school library.
Your feedback will help inform discussions and decision-making as we work to maintain a strong educational experience for Warrensburg students while ensuring the district's long-term financial sustainability. The survey should take approximately 5–7 minutes to complete. We would ask that all surveys be completed by 3:00pm on Friday, November 6, 2026.
